I know that President and Mrs. Reagan gave them a giant crystal bowl, and a Middle Eastern (Saudi, I'm pretty sure) royal family gave Diana a sapphire parure of earrings and a necklace that matched her wedding ring. Diana's pearl drop tiara was the Queen's wedding gift.

some of the presents for the (then) Princes of Spain, Juan Carlos & Sofía on their wedding day (14th May 1962) were:

* Queen Federica gave her son-in-law an golden ring with an camafeo( how do you say that in English?) that comes from the 5 century b.C (which is the same ring the King always wears in his pinky finger)
* Dictator Franco gave Sofía a diamond tiara that can be changed into a necklace
* Chiang Kai Check gave them a porcelain vase from the XVI century
* Also, the Duchess of Alba opened a bank account for the Spanish people who wanted to give money to the couple

such a waste of money and material. She received an equally rediculous thing of silver, in the shape of a polo helmet. If they combined the money they could have bought her a decent jewel that she would actually wear, instead of these horrible things which are collecting dust.

I was reading the newspaper yesterday and it had an article about the vintage tram that is on it's way to Denmark from Melbourne as a wedding present for CP Frederik & CP Mary, and it also said that they got a journal make of kangaroo poop and a 180-ton bale of wool as presents
